Instructions

  • Drizzle your vegetable oil to a medium-sized pan and place it on medium heat. Add in your gochujang, gochugaru flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, fish stock cube, and minced garlic clove. Give it a good stir and fry for 3 minutes.
  • Pour in your water, stir, and leave to simmer until thickened.
  • Time to prepare whatever you've decided to have with your beans, whether it be rice, noodles, toast, or pasta!
  • In a small pan, pour in 400ml of boiling water and your egg. Boil for 5 ½ minutes. Remove your egg and place it in cold water while you finish cooking your meal.
  • Once your Korean sauce has thickened slightly, add in your butter beans and chopped cabbage. Stir to coat the beans and cabbage in your sauce.
  • Once everything is ready, serve up your rice, beans & cabbage, soft-boiled egg, and top with a sprinkle of sliced spring onion, and enjoy!
